I hate to do it but I'm working on purchasing something with a family history so I need some funds and some space.

This tractor is now at my folks' place and I haven't run it since we moved back to the area. However, it started up fine, ran good, and I backed it into the shed about 8 months ago.

It needs a drive belt as it was slipping quite a bit and could use a new battery I'm sure. The last workout it had was in the town parade where I dumped a bucket full of candy in front of my kids.

The loader was originally on a cub cadet. I fabbed new brackets to fit the Wheel Horse and am pretty proud of the job I did. I also made the pump bracket and the exhaust stack is supported with a brace. Not sure exactly how much the loader can lift but it did pick up 2-175 lb students up off the ground before the back end lifted up.

I know there is one leaky hydraulic hose on the loader and I'm sure with a good restoration they should all be replaced. PM me if you're interested. Located in southern MN just north of Albert Lea. $1200. Pick up only. I just don't have the time to figure out how I ship it.

To my surprise, today I showed the tractor to a "looker" and it fired up with the battery charger after sitting since last spring. About 35 degrees here and I wasn't expecting to show a running tractor. Still available.

You might want to check the Sioux Falls or Sioux City Craig's list ads. There was someone that advertised on there for quite a while who was looking for a garden tractor loader. Maybe place an ad of your own.
